Overtime Wage Disputes

Federal and state laws regulate the manner and rate by which employees are compensated. In all instances, employees must be paid a minimum wage and receive their wages at designated pay periods. In general, a non-exempt, hourly employee is entitled to receive overtime pay at time and a half of their hourly rate for all hours worked over 40 in a one-week period.

If your employer has classified you as a salaried, exempt employee, you may also be entitled to overtime compensation. For example, if you do not supervise employees or if you perform the same work as hourly employees or are subjected to certain types of improper deductions from your wages, you may be entitled to overtime.
